Title: Anybody ever had their Paypal account hacked?
Post by: Gilly on January 13, 2009, 06:07:38 PM

It happened to me yesterday and I wondered how it turned out if anybody else had this happen to them. I changed my bank account and check card but I don't even know if I needed to do that since only the last four numbers on the account are listed.

it kind of happened to me.  i got an email asking me to resend my email and password, which confused me because i had my paypal set up under a different email account. 

ANYWAY, i realized later it was a bogus "phishing" website because it had some weird address: _____.paypal.com

but it looked exactly like paypal.  i ended up erasing my account and setting up another one using a different email address.  i dont mess around; i say, no matter, you did the right thing.
